This is true.

The college I played at, I saw a center after I had graduated who was 6'4, and it was like... "really?" But, he is bad example perhaps, as he was not a top rebounder or anything like that, just really strong for his size.

In college this year, Andre Roberson not a particularly strong guy, 6'6-6'7 guard. but averaged more than 11 rebounds a game, because he had great instinct, timing, and jumping ability. But in Baylor game on ...Saturday? he got worked left and right, by worse rebounders, but the guys were bigger and stronger, so he couldn't get his normally great positioning.

I also saw NBA highlights yesterday of Gallinari breaking his thumb, on a block, where he blocked, got all ball, but the guy was still strong enough that he finished with the ball still for a dunk. Gallinari clearly not the stronger player in that showdown.

What about the speed aspect then, cause I see where you are coming from on the Strength side of it. Also, what do you think of the 2 defensive tactics as well?

I can't say I ever remember Mugsy Bogues ripping a rebound out of Patrick Ewings hands.

But can you remember the time Michael Jordan totally rejected him and smacked the ball almost out of the arena with a volleyball spike?

Want something more extreme? 5'9" Nate Robinson blocked 7'6" Yao Ming!

You can easily find both on youtube.

1. Yao ming was doing a jumpshot, not trying to dunk.
2. Exception to rule kinda effect, but, noted a very good argument point too.

Of those choices I only really like communication although I think offensive and awareness is a better name. I think stealing should be a skill as well since blocking is.

My concern though is how to add these skills to existing players and all the changes that would need to be done would cost the bb team too much

I think blocking should be removed and driving and handling should be merged.

Cant think of a player with insane driving skills but now ability to handle the ball.

thats why those skills are highly connected, every training who train one of both trains the other with at least 66% of the speed of the other. And a player who drives better then he handled is, probadly one who is quick while the other have a better feeling or is more concentrated.

I think stealing is one of the hidden attributes.

Charles barkley was 6 foot 4 inches tall and played pf like a champ. One of the better rebounders too.

i thought 2/3, but anyway they are highly connected and there will no legendary drive without handling.
